Hi, Just stopped and started mysql with the -O max_binlog_cache_size=1000000,
but still this bin.001 file is increasing way over this limit, so it may not be this:( I didn't think it was due to replication as we do not have any replication setup. Also check the contents of the file. ?bin(iI;E3.23.43-log(iI;iI;ADatabasecreate table tablename(date varchar(9), time varchar(10), orig varchar(20), action varchar(10), ifdi r varchar(8), src varchar(30), dst varchar(20), service varchar(20))FiI;aDatabaseINSERT INTO table this is the top, the all INSERTS and values added are in the file. I assumed it was a cache as these were all previous actions but can't get a limit on this file. It is okay to periodically delete this file as it does not cause any damage to the database, already checked that one:) but above option does not seem to work. anyone have any other ideas thanks :) Leon. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
